Kashmir unrest: Death toll mounts to 30, more violence feared

SRINAGAR: The death toll in the Indian occupied Kashmir has gone up to 30 on Monday as deadly clashes between Indian troops and protesters continued for the third consecutive day despite a curfew in the disputed region to hold back anti-India fury following the killing of Kashmiri leader Burhan Wani.

Reports of clashes between Indian security forces and rock-pelting protesters emerged from several parts of the Indian occupied Kashmir since the killing of Wani by the Indian troops during a gunfight on Friday.

Prominent Kashmiri leader Asiya Andrabi reiterated on Monday that the fight for freedom would continue till the Kashmiris were free and added that Congress President Sonia Gandhi has also condemned the bloodshed of innocent Kashmiris at the hands of Indian troops.
